There are few things more satisfying than a story well told, and to end the Story that began with Halo, we have its temporal predecessor Halo reach. Reach's story is ended before the game begins. We know that reach falls. We know that the pillar of autumn escapes. But even with this foreknowledge, we are drawn into this world once again. And here we have our hero, Noble 6. He joins the rest of Noble team, and they endeavor to survive on a planet doomed to annihilation.
